If you are looking for a haunting and catchy tune, look no further than “Habits (Stay High)” by Tove Lo. Originally released on her 2014 EP, Truth Serum, the song quickly became a hit with its earworm chorus and introspective lyrics. But it wasn’t until the Hippie Sabotage Remix that it truly became a sensation. With its high-pitched refrain and minimal synth-heavy backdrop, the remix captures the essence of the original while taking it to new heights.

About Habits (Stay High) (Hippie Sabotage Remix)

The Hippie Sabotage Remix of “Habits (Stay High)” takes Tove Lo’s indie-pop hit and transforms it into a dreamy electronic track that is both ethereal and hypnotic. The intro of the song remains haunting and sets the mood for what is to come. The remix maintains Tove Lo’s original bridge and chopped vocals, adding in new elements like a high-pitched refrain that is instantly familiar and hooky.

The minimalist soundscape created by Hippie Sabotage is perfectly suited to Tove Lo’s introspective lyrics about seeking solace in drugs and alcohol. With lines like “I eat my dinner in my bathtub, then I go to sex clubs / Watching freaky people gettin' it on,” Tove Lo creates a world that is both dark and alluring. The Hippie Sabotage Remix amplifies this feeling by layering in electronic beats and eschewing traditional pop structures.

Perhaps the most striking element of the Hippie Sabotage Remix is its ability to infuse a sense of hopefulness into Tove Lo’s melancholy lyrics. The high-pitched refrain acts as a sort of beacon, calling the listener to join Tove Lo on her journey of self-discovery and growth. This feeling of hopefulness is made all the more potent by the soaring soundscapes that Hippie Sabotage creates, which lift the listener up and carry them through the song.
